What Year Is It In Your Ethnicity? by kingston277(m): 12:57am On Sep 29, 2014 |
I was looking around the net and noticed: Georgian calender: 2014 Igbo calender: 1014–1015 Ethiopian calendar: 2006-2007 Chinese calender: 4710 or 4650 Berber calendar: 2964 Can anyone provide a year from their ethnic group? |

ChinenyeN: I believe it is from the 'Igu Aro' (counting the years) of Agukwu-Nri people. I also read a few years back where the Eze-Nri said that that year was the one-thousand-and-something-th year, since the Nri people started keeping record of years. |

I think the question is better asked as what year is it in your communities native calendar. The 1014-1015 year is from Nri since they were among the few that counted years with an annual feast. http://orientnewspaper.com/eze-nri-calls-for-rebuilding-of-odinani-museum/ |

Well according to some scholars especially Remi Niyi Alaran. 2015 would be 10,057th year of Yoruba time keeping...I don't know their source to this claim but nobody has rebutted it Jst like the Igbos we have 4days a week dedicated to various Gods worshiped by their devotees |
